However, this isn't a radio station's promo. It's about blogs, columns and commentary about yesterday's decision by the Central Collegiate Hockey Association to reject UAH's application to join the league.

Along with http://hockeyjoe.blogspot.com and comments on http://noalibisnoregrets.blogspot.com and spartantailgate.com and http://newsminer.com, U.S. College Hockey Online fires a salvo at the CCHA with its "CCHA's Thumbs-Down to Huntsville Reeks of Elitism." It can be found at For you supporters of UAH hockey, check this out: http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/id,17145/CommentaryCCHAsThumbsDownToHuntsvilleReeksofElitism.html

Jim Connelly takes the league to task as well as Alaska-Fairbanks AD Forrest Karr, who was on the CCHA Council which voted down the Chargers.

As an aside, Karr has yet to answer an e-mail from me with questions on the vote. And, ironically, former UAH assistant coach Lance West is an assistant coach for the Nanooks.

Unfortunately, all this may be for nought and be forgotten by September but Tuesday's decision still reeks.

Meanwhile, tickets for UAH's season opener at Notre Dame are available on StubHub for $99 (GA) and $119 (reserved). Not bad prices to see a team that's not good enough to be in Notre Dame's league, eh?
